  • Method For Securing A Heat Exchanger Bracket
    Publication number: 20100154188
    Abstract: A method for attaching a bracket to a heat exchanger comprises providing a heat exchanger having a mounting surface. A bracket having an edge portion that conforms to the mounting surface is located in contact with the mounting surface. A portion of the mounting surface is then skived with the bracket in place so that a sufficient amount of skived material is deformed against the edge portion of the bracket to retain the bracket to the heat exchanger. The retained bracket is then brazed to the heat exchanger.

  • Vehicle radiator for use with or without oil cooler
    Patent number: 5645125
    Abstract: A vehicle radiator allows a tank oil cooler to be selectively installed or left out, with no weight penalty when it is left out. A displacement device consisting of a simple blow molded, hollow block, of equal volume to the oil cooler, is installed in place of the oil cooler when the oil cooler is not installed. This avoids the addition of an extra volume of coolant, and the attendant weight penalty.
